It may not fly by quite as quickly if you’re running it, but here you can see the entire route of the IAAF/Cardiff half marathon in two minutes.

The route takes runners past city landmarks including Cardiff Castle, Roath Park, Cardiff Bay, Cardiff City stadium and the barrage. It is the first time the world half marathon championship will take place in Wales.

It is one of the most prestigious global running events and it was last held in Britain in 2009, when Birmingham hosted it.

The 13.1-mile race around the streets of the capital involves 25,000 participants – and some of the finest athletes on the planet including medal hopeful Mo Farah.

The video was captured by runner Oliver Williams in last October's Cardiff Half Marathon.

A regular half-marathon runner, this year he hopes to bag a place in the Book of Guinness World Records by being the fastest person dressed as superman to finish the route.
